Huawei Consumer Business Group has unveiled the HUAWEI WATCH 2. The device combines the capabilities of a smartphone with smartwatch apps. On the outside, the Huawei Watch 2 looks like an elegant watch, while inside it offers advanced sports features. The new solutions boost motivation to train and make it possible to track current progress, just like professional performance-tracking devices.

The HUAWEI WATCH 2 inherited its classic design from its predecessor, the HUAWEI WATCH. Inside, however, it hides completely new, innovative solutions that encourage users to discover new possibilities and enjoy an active lifestyle.

The HUAWEI WATCH 2 is a product for people who want to explore the world around them without obstacles and treat technology as an integral part of their lifestyle. At the heart of the HUAWEI WATCH 2 (in the 4G version) is a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Wear 2100 processor. In addition, the device has a calling feature that lets users make calls or send text messages without taking their smartphone out of their pocket. The watch is also compatible with the latest smart living apps. The operating system used in the device is the new Android Wear 2.0, which provides network connectivity to both Android and iOS users.

Explore the world however you want

Users of the HUAWEI WATCH 2 (in the 4G version) can safely leave their smartphone at home and go for a run, a bike ride or explore the unknown without losing contact with the world. The standalone cellular calling feature and built-in GPS chip let users receive phone calls and text messages, as well as use apps such as Uber, Foursquare and Facebook Messenger. VoLTE technology and dual-mic noise cancellation ensure stable and clear phone calls, and thanks to the integration of the antenna in the upper watch case, responsible for 4G, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC, the device guarantees excellent connectivity.

In addition to the SIM-card version supported by mobile providers around the world, the HUAWEI WATCH 2 is also available in an eSIM version (available only in selected countries). What is more, some carriers offer a service with multiple SIM cards sharing the same number. You therefore do not need to set up a new number, because your watch and phone can use one and the same. However, the HUAWEI WATCH 2 is more than just an accessory to your smartphone – the 4G version provides excellent connectivity that will let you lead an active lifestyle and operate the device with one hand.

Personal trainer

The HUAWEI WATCH 2 is also an excellent training device. Thanks to its excellent specifications and intelligent sensors with advanced algorithms, the device will propose a tailor-made workout. The watch also measures activity and itself suggests more effective training sessions. The sensors record a range of data showing, for example, distance, speed, step count, heart rate, calories burned, gait type, route and much more. On the basis of this information, the device is able to suggest an optimal workout to the user. With just one click on the crown of the HUAWEI WATCH 2, you can open the sports app and start training in the blink of an eye. You also do not need to worry about accidental splashes – the Huawei Watch 2 meets IP68 standards.

Runners can choose from a range of different programs. In the quick start function, you can quickly begin an activity, and the watch will indicate the appropriate pace, adjusted to a given heart-rate zone. The HUAWEI WATCH 2 will also monitor the run in real time and notify the user about the distance covered, the status of the set goal, and warn when the heart rate becomes dangerously elevated. And all of this is based on calculated training plans. In addition, the HUAWEI WATCH 2 can send quick notifications about whether you need to speed up or slow down during training.

Thanks to the GPS and Glonass chip built into the HUAWEI WATCH 2 and its heart-rate detection system, the watch can not only track the training route but also measure maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) after each run. After training, the watch automatically prepares a report in which it advises how long you need to rest and informs you about the results achieved.

The HUAWEI WATCH 2 also lets you add music to your workouts, offering around 2.5GB of internal memory, or listen to tracks from external apps, e.g. Google PlayTM.

The HUAWEI WATCH 2 is not only an excellent training partner. The device also helps you maintain a healthy lifestyle around the clock. The Daily Tracking app precisely counts how many steps the user has taken that day, how much time they spent on moderate and high-intensity exercise, and also records how many times they stood up after sitting for a long time. All this information is received on an ongoing basis in the form of progress-tracking charts to motivate the user toward healthy habits and an active lifestyle. Continuous heart monitoring allows the heart rate to be recorded in the background, and information about its range over the last six hours is received in the form of a curve. The HUAWEI WATCH 2 will also measure heart activity at rest.

Classic design

In appearance, the HUAWEI WATCH 2 resembles a classic wristwatch. A smartwatch with such advanced sports features does not lose any of its elegance. The HUAWEI WATCH 2 is a premium-class device, equipped with a dual crown and made from high-quality materials. Thanks to its classic and sport watch faces, the watch can be matched to your style. The 1.2-inch AMOLED display, with a density of 326 pixels per inch, is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass.

The HUAWEI WATCH 2 was designed with comfort and proper fit during training in mind, which is why its rounded shape fits perfectly against the wrist. The device is also smaller and more compact than the previous generation Huawei Watch. Its dimensions are 48.9x45x12.6mm. The Huawei Watch 2 is available in the colors Dynamic Orange, Carbon Black, Concrete Grey, while the Huawei Watch 2 Classic comes in Titanium Grey.

New experiences

Together with the new, intelligent operating system and intuitive operation, the HUAWEI WATCH 2 becomes a personal assistant. Equipped with Android Wear 2.0, the WATCH 2 works with iOS and Android systems, so it allows you to use an extensive library of compatible apps. Touch controls, intelligent speech recognition and voice instructions make the watch easier to use and let you quickly respond to displayed messages. Thanks to new mobile payment technologies, your wallet is always on your wrist. The watch is also equipped with a new 400mAh battery, which lasts two days with regular use, up to 10 hours in training mode, and up to 3 weeks in watch mode.
